Also known as jungle jasper, meta-rhyolite, eye stone, eye jasper, rain forest jasper or rain forest stone, rain forest rhyolite comes from Australia. Characteristic is the dark-olive color of the mineral and the circular structures in light brown and yellow tones, which indicate the volcanic origin of this stone variety.
In stone healing according to Michael Gienger, the Australian rhyolite is used to strengthen and manifest existing conditions, but without changing them. Also the acceptance of one's own person with all strengths and weaknesses can be supported with this stone.
The first scientific description of rhyolite was made in 1860 by Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen (1833 - 1905). The name Rhyolite is derived from the two Greek words "rhein" (to flow) and "lithos" (stone) and alludes to the volcanic formation. Of several possible spellings, e.g. rhiolite, riolite, ryholite or ryolite, rhyolite has become accepted in retail and wholesale. Eye jasper is a well-known synonym; the terms quartz porphyry and liparite are outdated.
